ok but seriously the idea that ALL notifications on your smartphone come through with roughly equal priority and zero context, and that we are expected to manage dozens or hundreds of potentially critical but mostly unimportant pocket buzzes a day is fucking untenable

@hyperlink yes, BUT the new incarnation where google stops showing me stuff cuz i never open things is ALSO problematic because then my friend called me In Need and I didn't get a notification of the voicemail......
